FAQs
By embracing digital business management in dentistry, you can enhance the overall efficiency of your practice, improve patient satisfaction, communication and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. It’s essential to choose and implement technologies that align with the specific needs and goals of your dental practice.
Organizational readiness is a critical factor in the success of the digital transformation journey for dental practices. It refers to the preparedness and capability of an organization to undergo significant changes, adopt new technologies, and integrate digital solutions into its workflows.
In our exploration of digital solutions, DS Core serves as the central digital hub within the dental practice, offering various platforms like DS Core create, communication canvas, and Suremile simulator. These tools significantly enhance the patient experience while providing more efficient services compared to traditional analogue techniques. One pivotal component is the intraoral scanner, which plays a vital role in streamlining the patient journey by eliminating the need for physical impressions. Beyond its role in patient comfort, the scanner acts as a seamless communication conduit between our practice and the lab. Furthermore, when integrated with milling machines and printers, it empowers us to deliver in-house prosthodontic treatments, elevating the overall dental experience for our patients while optimizing time management and income generation.
Leanne Branton and Giacomo Armani discuss the journey of how they integrated digital technologies into their practices, and how they overcame obstacles and resistance to successfully mitigate change.
Many individuals often deliberate on the timing and method of integrating digital solutions into their practice due to uncertainty about the technology’s readiness. Our unequivocal message is that the time for implementation is now, without wasting any further time.
We thoroughly examine the investment aspect of digital equipment, acknowledging it as a significant financial commitment. Hence, we delve into discussions about amortization—determining when the equipment will be paid off and when it will begin generating income for the practice, and to what extent. We educate the listener on comprehending the practice's expenditures and optimizing income generation. This fundamental understanding is crucial for fostering a successful practice, a knowledge gap often unaddressed in dental schools.
